10am – Gathering & Opening Circle

10:30 – noon - Antonia Albano – Q & A about the amazing Geometries of Love ...sacred technologies for the next octave of love, the next octave of human. Walk a one-of-a-kind labyrinth floor walk which is a creation field. Ask Antonia questions about her journey into Expanded Realms of Love. Antonia has had a life-long fascination with both how the un-manifest is made manifest and how the un-manifest is integral to our existence and permeates all life with its intelligence. While on a modern day vision quest in 2004, Antonia began to draw shapes that have become the focus of her life. She’ll explain how, that if one chooses to allow it, such forms can impact and shape our lives and all life as we know it, and how she discovered that with the shapes came a beautiful, gentle yet powerful and palpable energetic message as to their purpose. Over the next eight years, six more geometric shapes new to this earth plane presented themselves to Antonia. These shapes, with motion, color and sound, together form a family called the Geometries of Love...sacred technologies for the new millennium. Each is magnificent and important in its own right, but together they function synergistically as a potent generator that is The Unified Field System of Love, and create for our own experience what Antonia describes as both “the Next Octave of Love” and “the Next Octave of Human!” l♥ve donations printable event flyer

Moreover, her blog-book illustrates and explicates several Quadernity models, which, when used as lenses through which to view the issues of our day (from personal to planetary) can alter our perspectives, upgrade our planning and policies, and help us fulfill our purposes as soulful people. l♥ve donations printable event flyer

7 – 8:30pm – Bob Sima & Shannon Plummer in Concert Bob Sima is a dynamic singer - songwriter, performer, storyteller, speaker, servant of humanity, workshop and retreat leader, meditation and breathwork facilitator, and creative collaborator. His mission statement clearly articulates his intentions for his music: "I come with a crystal clear divine purpose. With utmost and sacred devotion, I encapsulate – in song – my interpretations of the ancient, timeless wisdom of the ascended masters and of the contemporary teachers I meet in this life. Each and every song I birth begins as my personal conversation with Source, delivered as life lessons of spiritual growth, transformation, and expansion of consciousness. I share this gift to soften the hardest of hearts, widen the narrowest of smiles, loosen the tightest of grips, lighten the heaviest of loads, and thin the thickest of walls of as many souls as I can possibly reach. All for the greater purpose of lifting as much light and consciousness into this world at this time in human evolution when it is so called to be done."

Whether Shannon & Bob are singing together in a concert, facilitating a transformational workshop, sitting in ceremony with a retreat group or Shannon offering one-on-one healing/coaching, the soul-level experience is always delivered. The marriage of Bob and Shannon’s gifts is undeniably powerful, unique, and potent for anyone on the journey of transformation.

As the founder of Angel Healing Touch and as a Guatemalan Shaman, Doris sees how these 'shackles' can not only keep us from moving forward in our lives, but take a toll, sometimes a very serious toll, on our bodies and our psyches. Sometimes these stucknesses come through our lineage and other times the situations are created in this current lifetime. Join us to experience Doris' love and honoring of our brilliant wholeness. Experience the freedom of release from the heaviness of blame and anger. The angels will be assisting everyone present to 'lighten their load of damaging burden' to make room for wondrous new light to come in.

1:30pm – Lindy Felix – Journey of Love ...relationship as path “Mitakuye Oyasin” is a phrase from the Lakota language which translates to “all my relations”. After years of holding '”ME” AND All My Relations, I came to a revelation that was very tangible: All My Relations includes Me and “I” include All My Relations. Let's explore together pathways of experiencing, tangibly, the feeling and the knowing that we are inter- connected AND that we can call on the empowerment of realizing Oneness/Unity to give and receive blessings to each other, to places, all across the Net of Light. Lindy has been a Healing Artist for over 30 years - an explorer of the seen and the unseen worlds – probably lifetimes. She has studied shamantic healing and wisdom ways of many cultures: Andean, Norse, Celtic, Amazonian, Native American, and what is sometimes called Core Shamanism, those pathways that are common to most of our ancestors. Lindy is a graduate of Sandra Ingerman's Shamantic Teacher Training. Some of her other teachers include: Hank Wesselman, Tom Cowan, Betsy Bergstrom, The Four Winds. Lindy has been journeying and guiding others for several decades.
